What do you mean by 'private tour'?

Will there be others in my group even if there are only two of us?

No. Your private vacation is just that: private. (we do require a minimum of two people). The more of your friends, the merrier.

The lodges and the majority of the accommodations we select for you tend to be small and intimate, most often in renovated historic monuments.

How do I make arrangements?

Simply give us a call at 212 206 8400 or 800 378 4555. Reservations are placed upon receipt of a non-refundable $500 per person deposit and one signed Reservation Application Form per person.

The balance is due 60 days prior to the tour. Just tell us whether you want our hand-picked SELECT hotels or hand-picked DELUXE hotels - Peru's most over-the-top luxurious.

How can I make payment?

Payment is welcome by check, wire or by American Express. The prices quoted reflect a 3% discount for paying by check. If you wish to pay by other means, please add 3% to your total invoice.

What about air transportation?

Most clients prefer to book their own international air on LanPeru, Continental, American or Delta in and out of Lima. Please provide your flight details when booking. We are happy to make your internal flight arrangements for you. Average cost is $125 per person per flight.

What is included on this private tour?

Our hand-selected hotels, of course. Breakfast daily and a few other meals as noted.

All transport and drivers on a private basis (sedans or minivans). Train service to Machu Picchu on the Orient Vistadome or the ultra-luxe Hiram Bingham service. Private sightseeing tours with our excellent guides - yes, the very same guides we use for our museum and VIP clients (you are one of them now). Always at your disposal is our knowledge, expertise and the services of our staff in New York and in Lima.

You are on your own for any incidentals as well as the customary gratuities. A full list of what is included and not included is found at the end of the full itinerary.

What is the difference between the “select” and “deluxe” packages?

Only the items listed: the most luxurious hotels in Peru, the ultra-luxe Hiram Bingham service, and the meals and additional items noted. In both packages, you still have the same excellent guides and drivers, the same content, and the same excellent vehicles.

Can I combine elements of the two packages?

You must choose either the “Select” package or the “Deluxe” package. Both are highly discounted.

Can I change either package?

We can change the days of the week (be aware that the Hiram Bingham service does not operate on Sundays). We can also add content before or after the package of your trip once we have your deposit for the packaged part.
